Greg visits the UK twice every year, in July and November, touring with local rhythm sections. He's a great guy to talk to and, as you know, has some fabulous records to his credit. Time I gave these another listen!

Seen both. The first is a super picture, though the other's pretty good too.

Steve, I think you'll find that this book is the real McCoy - if I may use that anachronistic expression. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/518TYJwNBzL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg

Fascinating and strongly recommended. Based on interviews in the 90s with 30 survivors of the classic era, ranging from big names (Mulligan, Konitz) to lesser known figures (Gene Allen, Don Ferrara). Many insights into intriguing musicians like Tony Fruscella and Dave Schildkraut.

Hope you liked it. I did!

Very good French thriller with a storyline worthy of Eric Ambler.
